Safeguard your rental property

Our Rent Protection and Legal Expenses service shields your rental income from arrears that could affect your finances.

Draw in tenants and minimise void periods with our No Deposit Scheme

Our No Deposit Scheme helps attract more tenants while securing your investment. Instead of a large upfront deposit, tenants pay a monthly service charge based on the rent. Tenant accountability is covered, as they remain responsible for any damages. John Shepherd will directly manage all valid end-of-tenancy claims with tenants, offering landlords peace of mind.

*This service is not an insurance policy; payments are made at John Shepherd's discretion. For further details on the No Deposit Scheme and how it operates, please refer to our Terms and Conditions.
